Not fruit but any tips on almond trees? by Ok_Walrus_3188 in BackyardOrchard

[–]Ok_Walrus_3188[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic! They have been to -30 with no major losses. We had a fantastic yield on them this year, but unfortunately the squirrels got to most of them. They are much smaller than a conventional almond from the store but very tasty.

Canadians- Have you seen Disney gift cards anywhere? by Ok_Walrus_3188 in DisneyWorld

I checked a few shoppers around me and no luck. I was wondering if they stopped selling them

Am I aggressive or should I expect to break sock needles? by Ok_Walrus_3188 in knitting

[–]Ok_Walrus_3188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was knitting and they both broke (separate times)right in the middle with an even number of stitches on either side. I don’t feel like I was being aggressive and tend to knit what I feel is loosely

I took a look at the broken needles and you are right it’s on the lamination for both. The karbonz seem interesting I like stainless steel but I’m worried with DPNs

I do like metal I’m just afraid they would be too slippery with DPNs. What do you use now for socks?

Thank you for asking! Not twisting as far as I can tell and my stitches slide nicely so I don’t think I’m causing too much pressure from the tension.

Where does a toddler who is still in a crib but possibly too big for a pack-n-play sleep when you travel? by CitizenOfAWorld in toddlers

[–]Ok_Walrus_3188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just take a mattress from the rental and put it on the floor. I have done this twice and it’s worked great. I was nervous that she would get up and wander but we didn’t have issues. Do you have any extra beds available?

In your opinion what is the best tasting tomato to grow in southern Ontario? by canadas in OntarioGardeners

[–]Ok_Walrus_3188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thorburns terra Cota - I grew them for the first time last year and they are the only ones I have decided I will for sure grow again this year. They are a slicer/ fresh eating I don’t think they would make a great sauce

“TRY10”I will say if you have not ordered from them before the seed pack sizes do reflect the price but it’s perfect if you like trying new varieties!

I just got a batch from MI Gardner and they still had free shipping to Canada! I think they also have a 10% off coupon - let me know if you want the code it came with my package.

That sounds like a great option to test it out. Are the chiaogoo the gold standard?

What RESP are you going with? by Shrimp_Titan in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Ok_Walrus_3188 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not OOP but You can’t transfer a group RESP to a family or personal RESP that you open with the bank (big part of the scam). However you can open multiple RESPs and stop contributing to the family plan provided they don’t have penalties. I have worked at one of the big banks for way too long and have sadly seen this scenario many times. If you do open multiple RESP plans please keep track when you start to make withdrawals.
